Last year God granted our family one of the greatest opportunities of our lives. We felt called to join with others from our church/community to travel to the Czech Republic. During our 17 days there, we met amazing men and women who will be our friends for life. The people we met could not believe we’d come for far, at such cost, to share the good news with them. Yet our message was clear. “We came because God loves you. You are so important to Him that He brought a us half way around the world to tell you that!”
One of our family’s best memories is seeing the joy and excitement on Voyta’s face as this 15-year-old young man accepted Christ as his Savior. And there were many, many others who trusted us, became curious about Jesus, and wanted to know more about the Bible and salvation. And now we cannot wait to go back to continue the work!
The family camp we worked at is in a rural area 2.5 hours east of Prague. This year, John and I will be working with the “advanced” speakers—professional people who have great influence in their country. Cory, Leslie, and Nathan will once again be working with the pre-teens—the next generation!
We will be working beside three missionary couples and the small Vysoke Myto Baptist Church, who were both awed by how God moved in the people’s hearts last year. As God’s people working together, we cannot wait to see the harvest God is preparing!
We would appreciate you praying for us as we prepare for our trip. We know God will provide everything we need. We can wait to see what He does!
